I picture a bunch of ’90s alt-rockers waiting outside a recording studio. “Okay, that’s three from the Toadies. You’re all set, guys. Bush, you’re up next- we need filler songs for 4 movies. Make ‘em angsty, but not too heavy- we got White Zombie for that. Go!” The entire recording process for all the late ’90s soundtracks took about a day and a half.

P.s. I bought the Crow: City of Angels album because it had a P.J. Harvey song that wasn’t on any of her albums. You won that round, corporate synergy!
